You joke but behind the Iron Curtain the dictators used to win "elections" with something like 98% of votes. "See, we have some malcontents but they're a tiny minority." It was all doctored of course but it's funny that they bothered to keep it believable when everybody knew the truth, both inside the country and elsewhere.
